I like these pictures .... why do you say that you're not satisfied? which aspects of the photo you want to improve?

Thanks for the kind comments.

I'm OK with the pictures but the process to get them could be better...

Namely to be able to take these pics I needed to pre-focus where the action would be, lock focus, wait and shoot a sequence almost blind since in continuous shooting, you cannot really follow the action on the screen.

Also, since the lens is relatively slow (f5.6), I had to get to high ISO to freeze the action.

It's OK for pictures where the location is predicable (shoots) but for other kind of shots, like the one bellow, you need serious AF tracking abilities.
